This deck is all about out ramping your opponents and then shutting them out with cards like Ethersworn Canonist, Linvala, Keeper of Silence, and Eidolon of Rhetoric. Rafiq comes out early and either wins through commander damage or enables powerful synergies with other cards like Cold-Eyed Selkie or Medomai the Ageless. Lots of answers, very annoying to play against.
